Sep­tem­ber­so­na­te

A man and a woman meet again after a long time. Decades have passed since she became an actress and he became a successful author, decades after they fell in love in their youth. Who would he have become if he had stayed? Would Ellice have loved the one who stayed? The mind game turns into a showdown to the death: in the gloomy halls of his childhood, Osbert meets the man his family wanted him to become. Manfred Trojahn's colourful, pulsating opera based on a story by Henry James is staged by Johannes Erath in a visually powerful universe of inner ghosts that are not so easy to shake off.
